That wasn’t even an old version, that wasn’t even the video. It was just a bunch of footage, like a timeline type of thing to show the idea. That was pre-rough cut.

IT HURTS ME TO SEE THE OLD AND VERY WRONG VERSION OF THE PARANOID VIDEO GET LEAKED ALL OVER THE NET WHILE I WAS ON AN 11 HR FLIGHT AND COULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT’S JUST FRUSTRATING WHEN THIS STUFF HAPPENS BECAUSE I REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND SINCE VIDEOS NEVER GET PLAYED ANY WAY YOU MIGHT AS WELL TWEAK THEM AND MAKE THEM AS SPECIAL AS POSSIBLE. THE VERSION THAT GOT LEAKED FROM THE CAMERA PHONE LAST WEEK IS AT LEAST A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE FINAL PRODUCT. THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR SUPPORT BUT THAT VIDEO WAS NOT UP TO MY STANDARDS.

Like this video version with new synths, etc in this version. Need this in CDQ, Ye.

Distant Relatives is an upcoming studio album by American rapper Nas and reggae artist Damian Marley, scheduled to be released on June 23, 2009.
News of the album first came at the 2009 Grammy Awards, Nas told MTV reporters “Right now, I’ll tell you first, I’m working on an album with Damian Marley, that should drop in June. We tryin’ to build some schools in Africa with this one, and trying to build empowerment,” he said. “We’re tryin’ to show love and stuff with this album. So, the record’s … all about really the ‘hood and Africa also as well.
Marley told Rolling Stone, “We’re trying to have a sound that’s reminiscent of both of us, but not exactly like either,” says Marley, who adds they cut the disc with a live band. Proceeds will go to a project in Africa — possibly building a school in the Congo — and songs like “Count Your Blessings” reflect on the plight of the continent. “A lot of charity albums come off corny,” says Marley. “We want this to be something you’d play in your car.” The album title derives from Nas and Marley’s relationship and their shared African ancestry, which musically and lyrically inspired each record.
Leftover tracks from Hoofy F Baby’ and Marley’s previous albums were originally planned for an EP based on Africa. After working together, the duo decided to record a full album together.
The album’s content will heavily revolve around Africa, from ancestry and poverty. The duo worked to maintain the theme, which will contain samples from African music. The album will offer their social commentary of the United States and Africa.
Mixing hip hop and reggae, Nas and Marley began recording in 2008; recording sessions took place in Los Angeles, California, and Miami, Florida. Marley and his brother, Stephen, produced a majority of the album. Nas plans to work with several producers on the project, including Large Professor, The Alchemist, J. R. Rotem and DJ Khalil. He also plans to feature guests Stevie Wonder and Young Jeezy, among others.
Confirmed tracks “Count Your Blessings”

damn Max. I dont think its looking too good for the boss don. how much time this nigga looking at? I can’t see the nigga beating this charge, especailly since T.I walked. Whats one got to do with the other? Everything.

Max B….but like a real collabo like North Pole or the Frenchie stuff. No “random nigga feat. e-mailed max b verse”

^How can I forget about the boss don, some production from his in house click, him on the hook, i’ll let him come up with the topic (long as it’s wavy) and cha ching, we have a hit. I got this beat from my homie that got donell jones on the hook, but it always reminded me of some max b shit. Co-sign that real collabo talk too, I don’t even like the kid sonic, but “north pole” still gets bump sumthing crazy. If biggavel goes in, i’ma do a put together song with duke (maybe not) but alot of people that don’t have access to the web have no clue about the amount of music max put out, so people will prolly think it’s a real song, lol

SMH @ all these niggas talking about “Pray for MaxB” …. really? The nigga allegedly killed somebody. If it was any other nigga on the street, you wouldn’t give a fuck. How ass-backwards are we as a people? Shit.

^Max didn’t kill anybody. The ninjas who ransacked the tellie rooms are the culprits. Max is being charged with conspiracy.

^Truthfully I don’t like seeing no one go to jail, unless there rapist, or kill for no reason, if your in the drug trade & get killed oh well, you chose your path in life, & I guess the person they was tryna knock off was in the game, not sure, but if he was, pray for max b, that nigga that got killed couldn’t rap, so fuck him, WE WANT MORE MAX

What’s up with all of the sadistic vampire and werewolf/beastman imagery? What does it have to do with the song?

beastiality, negative dark imagery associated with the mind control techniques rhianna went through/goes through. as yall know her handler is Jay-Z, but jay-z’s master is the white folks call the I*********.

Take what I said back about him killing somebody but it still doesn’t erase my main point that we only “care” about the ones that “matter” … it’s destructive.

i enjoy spotting visual clues put in front of the mass sheeple and then disbelieveing how blindd everyone is to blatent symbolisms and references to the dark works behind the curtains of the entertainment industry.

^It was some OT ballin’ ass ninjas from FL that was allegedly flaunting their cash, etc. There were also 2 other sets of prostitutes that had nothin’ to do with Max that was also tryin’ to set them up too. I think Max probably did set up the situation, but probably told his team to just flash the toolie, make them lead you to the money, and just get outta there with the cash so that they could break bread later. Somebody decided to go Rambo and started duct taping ninjas up (kidnapping) and shot the other ninja in the face (execution murder) and bodied the other dude (murder 1, right? I think, can’t remember).

^But that’s with any Ciara, you’re making it too objective. If one of your favorite artists got roundhoused off a cliff and died, you know you’d be a little emotional about even though you didn’t know that person. Simply because the attachment through music and media made you feel some type of connection. However, some other random artist you don’t know or never heard of got powerbombed through a stack of tables and died but you wouldn’t even know or care.

I hear what you’re saying. Yeah, if my favorite artist (like Young Chris) got into some shit, I would hope for the best too however I look at all these dudes are human beings first and artists second, who should face the consequences of their actions. If Max really did conspire in the crime, he needs to face his consequences, you know. Fuck an ‘Oww!’

It’s like we always ramble on about a justice system that doesn’t care about us when we’re the ones not caring about ourselves.

^But the court system is about WHAT THEY CAN PROVE, no WHAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE DONE. If the courts can’t prove based on concrete evidence that someone did the crime then why should that person be punished? The Most High knows and Karma will be dealt accordingly. And yes, this is all being said in the vein of stannery for Wavy Crockett, lol (though it is the truth though).

Lets take the best example: Orenthal James Simpson. Do I believe he killed shorty? No. Do I believe he had somethin’ to do with it? Yes. Due to the greatness of Cochran, could they prove it? No. Therefore, “justice” was served based on the evidence and testimonies was given. However, Karma did catch up with his ass and BOOM! (c) Madden.

If this was a family member or somebody I knew of course I would be speaking from a more emotional and personal stance. But it’s not, so I won’t.

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. ”

i think “unquenchable” really represents ones feelings once an relationship enters its 3rd year or so.

falling in love can be looked upon as a volcano errupting. The experience is magnificent. The volcanic lava eventually turns to hardened rock that shapes and froms new landscapes. The climate may change in the relationship, but just revisting the experience can bring about fondness.

people often talk about the mental and phyiscal, but its the medium of transferance from one to the other that must be honed. Naturally we have the ability to be creative and the physical ability to carry out said creation, but what is not spoken of, is how do we transfer that mental creation into an understandable format…. walk with me.

That shit was ridiculous, but should have been a pointer to the fact that he was roided up. I saw this programme last weekend about steroid use and how it affects the brain combined with high impact sport. They were talking about Benoit’s brain basically been like that of an 80 year old with dementia from all the damage…

to increase brain capacity you must first remove the clutter that is your train of thought. You are limiting your knowledge by not allowing all streams of information. Increase your awarness, increase your capacity, increase your knowledge.

^LOL. Man, HELLZ nah. The closest we got is when DJ Trini plays the reggae mix on 95.5 on Friday (or it might be Saturday) nights. And that’s a DC station. Definitely none in B’more.

I have been trying to see if the stunt was planned or not. How do you know for sure?
Em’s reaction told me he knew he was going to land in front of him, but not with his balls in front of his lips! “are you serious! are you f-in serious! get this mofo off of me!” (c) Em

if what you are doing in your movement is considered ‘normal’ you are not doing the right thing. In order to make an impact you must do things that others don’t/won’t understand. They will consider it crazy and unbelievable, that’s when you know you’re on the right track.
